The Evansville Youth Center is coordinating an expanded activities area for kids & youth in the field house including a bounce house, tournaments, games and a special guest. While age, recipes, and behind-the-stove experience may vary from contestant to contestant, the one thing every cook in the annual Chili Cook-Off has in common is their desire to walk away with the magnificent Matthias James Pottery one-of-a-kind trophy bowl. Last year the Grand Champion Trophy Bowl and $50 prize went to newcomer chili chef, David Spach for his 4 Critter Chili. The winners in the other categories were: Most Unique and People's Choice award went to Jan Samuelson sponsored by the Evansville Auto Auction with her Top Bid Chili; No Sweat Mild Best was won by Eric Larsen, Tony Woletz, and Chris Wisley with Crazy Buck Chili Present Bacon Explosion; Best theme went to Jose Nieves with Hogs & Kisses, and Evansville Physical Therapy won 2nd place Honorable Mention. In addition to the original Matthias James Pottery large trophy bowl, the Grand Champion will take home $50. The winner of the Honorable Mention title will walk away with $40 and recipients of the "People's Choice", "Best Theme", "Most Unique", and "No Sweat Mild Best" titles will each receive $25. For added fun contestants are encouraged to come up with clever and catchy names and fun decorations for their tables. The 2010 registration fee remains at $25.00 and includes a voucher for $10.00 worth of ingredients (generously donated by Evansville's own Piggly Wiggly), admission for two to the event, and one hand thrown pottery chili bowl from Matthias James Pottery and Allen Creek Gallery. For individuals interested in attending, but not cooking, tickets are $17 prior to the event and $22 at the door. Kids under 13 can still enter free with adult. The first 400 paid ticket holders to arrive will receive a hand-thrown pottery chili bowl made by local potter, Matthias James. Attendees will also enjoy sampling chili from the chili chef contestants, mixing and mingling with friends old and new, bidding on a selection of fabulous silent auction items, fun contests, door prizes and even more activities for the kids. Evansville Community Partnership will raffle off two Nintendo Wii systems at the event and this year there will be more seating for the all-you-can-eat chili and spaghetti dinner.
